Hah redchild some states in Australia can't even decide whether or not to HAVE daylight savings....!

We Queenslanders can't even agree on daylight savings within our own state and, based on the on-going daylight savings debate, have gone so far as to vote at various times over the years to become two states instead of one! Those in the north don't want it and those in the south do...

Now, I could have put this question in the cooking and recipe thread but it's more a question of what you do in your country so:

Do you eat bread? If so, in what form? When my son eventually got to Europe the thing he missed most, aside from Vegemite and other such Australian-specific products, was bread. He could not source a piece of "proper" bread for the ten day he was overseas. By "proper", I mean this kind, made with flour and yeast and then baked after rising:

I always just assumed that it existed in most regions so possibly he wasn't looking hard enough or maybe it's something that wouldn't normally be available to eat in places where he'd have eaten out.

Following on from that, if you don't have bread (or do, but not the "proper" type ), what is a typical lunch meal you would eat in your country?
